Orapeza

Vincente Orapeza, a champion vaquero and trick roper in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, lassoes a Mexican vaquero on horseback during a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Orapeza stands in the right center midground. Both men wear sombreros and have scarves tied around their necks. The audience fills the bleachers underneath a tent canopy in the background. Several men stand on top of a building in the background above the tent.
